THE ELIGIBILITY RULES
Requirements to be Met to Play on
Any Athletic Team—Are You a
Progressive?
During the past two years much
discussion and agitation has arisen
within the student body and among
the alumni concet fling the eligibility
rules governing the men who le
plesent Penn State on various ath
letic teams. Among other things,
the one yea: :esidence rule has re
ceived a great deal of consideration
and its adoption has been urged
and is still being agitated by the
more progressive element in the
college as the one big factor in put
ting an end to undue and unfair
criticism received at the hands of
certain sporting waiters or rival col
leges in athletics.
The adoption of this rule is
urged as necessary to put Penn
State in the proper light before the
public and to secure for her the
true standing in athletics, both of
which she so fairly deserves and
not infrequently fails to get. This
agitation for more strict eligibility
rules found expression in changes
to go into effect this year. That
all may understand the rules as
they now exist and may use their
influence in a way that they feel
will better conditions at Penn State
and for Penn State, the eligibility
rules follow:
Sect. 1. No person shall repre
sent this college in any athletic con
test either at the college or else
where unless he be a bona fide stu
dent of the college.
Sect. 2. No student shall repre
sent the college in any sport more
than four years.
Sect. 3. No student entering the
Pennsylvania State College from
any other college or University
shall be eligible to participate in in
tercollegiate contests until he shall
have been in residence one full
academic year.
Sect. 4; A student to be eligible
for intercollegiate athletic com
petition must be fully matriculated
and in good standing in any one of
the four year courses of Collegiate
grade.

FALL TRACK
Fall Trials Will be Held Soon
Martin Coach—Keyser Captain.
With the retention of Bill Maitin
as trainer for varsity teams and
track coach, track athletics re
ceived a greater impetus in their
rush to equal the standards set by
other Blue and White Varsity
teams. Martin, in his first term as
-track coach turned out the best
all-round team that Penn State has
ever had and there is no doubt that
with him again in charge the corn
ing season will see even greater
strides in the development of track
and field men at Penn State.
The Track team was lucky in
that it lost only lout men of last
year's sterling performers. In this
number are included the mainstays
in three events, namily, Armsby
in the jumps, Maybee in the pole
vault, and Captain Lum in the
mile. Fischer, who also ran in the
mile, completes the list. Good
substitutes remain to fill their
places and with the material fur
nished by the freshman class
should give Coach Martin plenty of
candidates with which to work.
The team was also lucky in that
it had such a man as Keyser to
honor with its leadership for the
coming season. The little two
miler is a hard conscientious work
er, who is popular with his team
mates and the student body. Fail
ure of the team to produce is not
likely to be traced to the lack of
an enthusiastic and hard working
leader.
The usual fall trials for Sopho
more and Freshman candidates
will be held in the near future.
Men interested in track and field
work should watch for the first call
for condidates and for the full de
tails of the fall track campaign and
cross country announcements,
which will appear in a later issue of
this paper.
VARSITY CANDIDATES
How to Avoid Unexcused Absences
From Military Drill
In the past more or less trouble
has always been occasioned by men
from the Sophomore and Freshman
classes who reported for athletic
teams without making any arrange
ments concering their absence from
regular Military Drill. They simp
ly depended upon the manager,
captain or coach of the team for
which they were a candidate to
square matters with the Military
department. This sort of action
not only causes trouble for both
the athletic management and
military department, but also
results often in a man losing his
chance to even try to make a team
by being compelled to return to
drill.
To avoid all trouble and unex
cused absences all candidates from
the Sophomore and Freshman
classes for varsity teams must first
hand their names to the manager or
one of his assistants, but continue
to report for military drill until
notice of the excuse has been re
ceived from the Military Depart
ment through the Athletic Associa
tion office. Notices of all men ex
cused from Military drill for Athlet
ic teams will be posted on the Athlet
ic Association Bulletin board along
the main hall on the first floor of
Old Main. Other prominent places
where bulletins will be posted will
be announced latter.
All candidates for Varsity Foot
ball are to report to the manager or
one of his assistants at the Track
House any afternoon after four
o'clock. Their excuse from mili
tary drill will then be arranged as
soon as possible by the Athletic
Association.
THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
THE FOOTBALL OUTLOOK
Many Stars Lost by Graduation.
Hollenback, with Reed and Har
low, Again the Coaching Staff.
Martin Trainer.
The regular daily grind of the
Blue and White candidates for foot
ball honors started on Monday at
the call of Head-coach Hollenback.
The next few weeks will be busy
one's for all connected in anyway
with the girdiron game at Penn
State, for seldom has the Blue and
White suffered as much from the
loss of star men as in the season
just past. The problem of whip
ping the team together is made
more imperative by the fact that
the Washington and Jefferson game
to be played at Washington is not
far off.
When 1913 graduated last June
six of the thirteen varsity men of
the 1912 season were lost to Penn
State. Captain Mauthe,fullback,who
did the punting, was a most reliable
goal kicker both from the field and
from touch downs, and was re
sponsible for the long forward
passes to Very and Wilson. To
these assets must be added his in
domitable courage : as a leader.
With Mauthe went Very, right end,
almost universal choice for all
American end, and greatest end by
far of the year in handling forward
passes; Wilson left end, only a
shade less brilliant than his running
mate. Engle, one of the greatest
tackles Penn State has ever had;
Whitney, another strong tackle, and
Hanson, a guard who was always
reliable. To fill these vacancies
with men were easy, but to fill
them with men who know the game,
who can not only act but think
quickly, and who possess not only
fighting strength, but what is more
good Penn State fighting spirit, this
were a task great enough to test the
powers of any coach or corps of
coaches.
Seven men remain of last year's
varsity. These will form the
nucleus around which the coaches
must build and mold a winning
team; these will be called upon to
bear the brunt of the battle for the
Blue and White, especially in the
early season contests. Heading
this list is Captain Shorty Miller.
His past performances are enough
guarantee that the Blue and White
will have leadership that is inspiring
and courageous. Next in point of
experience stand "Big" Clark the
versatile pivot man and "Red" Be
bout, the most aggressive guard
Penn State has had for years.
On the right side of the line, the
giant tackle Lamb is left. Back of
the line, besides Miller, there re
main "Punk" Berryman the dash
ing, line crashing halfback, and
Welty his reliable running mate,
and Yegg Tobin the remarkable
"pinch hitter" of the backfield.
Of last year's second string men
there remain several who will no
doubt land varsity berths and help
to fill the vacancies. Of the line
men Vogel and McVean seniors
have seen most service, while Sayer
has proven his worth. These men
with Miller, 'l6 should help •to
solve the tackle and guard problem.
Fisher, subcenter is also again
on the squad. Behind the line
material is most plentiful.
Langdon, Weston, Welling, Shupe,
Vogt, and Craig have all seen more
or less varsity experience, while
Tevlin, Yerger, and Wood are
promising men from last year's
freshman team. Probably the
greatest problem facing the coaches
is that of filling the places of Very
and Wilson at e' d. Experienced
material is not plentiful. Barron is
probably the most promising can
didate. The former varsity back
field man should fill one of the wing
positions capably. Besides Barron
there are Stewart, Devine, Sarver,
and Weston.
The last and most uncertain
source of material is found in the
Freshman class. Northeast Manual
and Central High of Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Allegheny, Harrisburg,
Atlantic City, Johnstown, Greens
burg, and Williamsport High
School, Indiana Normal School,
and Mercersburg Academy have all
contributed their quota of men
prominent in prep school athletics.
It is up to those who have joined
the squad to try for the team, to
forget their prep school reputation
and make good. To those who
have the ability and physique or
either, and have not reported, we
would say "Take a bigger draught
of true Penn State Spirit, ask the
manager for togs, report to the
coach on the field, and show the
stuff that's in your makeup."
Summarizing what has thus far
been said irany would conclude
that the outlook is not bright. But
no mention has been made of one
of the biggest assets in Penn State's
football successes, namely her
coaching staff. At the head stands
Big Bill. Enough is said when we
note that in his three years at
Penn State, no defeat has marred
the record of the Blue and White
on the gridiron. The resourceful.
ness of Coach Hollenback will go a
long way toward the success of the
season, where a coach of less
ability would surely fail. He is
not alone in his work nor will the
success be due to his efforts alone.
No head coach can boast a better
corps of assistants than is afforded
hit#► in chaplain Bob Reed,
former Princeton All-American
tackle, Dick Harlow, star tackle of
the undefeated Blue and White
eleven of 1911, and Trainer Bill
Martin, last season's successful
track coack and formerly a star
backfield man on on the elevens of
Whitman College, Washington and,
Notre Dame University. Upon
the ability of these men to produce
a winning aggregation Penn State
followers pin their faith for the suc
cess of the Blue and White on the
gridiron in 1913.
Ihe football schedule for this
season follows:
October 4, Carnegie Tech. at
State College.
October 11, Gettysburg college at
State College.

emy at Mercersburg.
November 22, Sophomore-Fresh
man Game.
Captains of 1911 and 1912.
Captain Mauthe of the victorious
team of 1914 is now big chief in
the football camp of the Pennsyl
vania College, at Gettysburg. The
big chief has dug up the hatchet and
our eleven may expect a warm bat
tle, when the battlefield boys come
on New Beaver.
Captain Very of the famous 1911
team is now head coach at Mercers
burg. With his experience and his
knowledge of pig-skin tactics, he
will undoubtedly turn out a good
team at the school. They will be
strong apponents for our 1917 men,
if the two meet,
THE 1913 FOOT
BALL CAPTAIN
With Miller at the Helm Penn
State's Gridiron Warriars Are
Assured Excellent Leadership.
New Captain Strong in All De
partments and Popular, Both On
and Off the Field
With the election of Eugene E.
Miller, as captain at the end'of the
last football season, the 1913 Blue
and White eleven was assured of
brilliant and popular leadership.
"Shorty", as he is popularly known,
has made a reputation among the
football stars developed in the last
two years and was chosen by many
critics:as the 1912 All American
quarterback. He came to Penn
State from Harrisburg High School,
where he started his football career
and captained the team in his sen
ior year. Upon entering Penn
State in 1910 he reported for the
team and soon made his presence
felt by his "pepper" and ability to
carry the ball. Since then he has
played in every game but the
Gettysburg game of last season,
when he took a necessary trip to
Philadelphia with Coach Hollen
back.
Captain Miller
"Shorty", while at Penn State
has developed into a phenomenal
player, strong in all departments of
the game, and no man was ever
better qualified to lead a football
team. His broken field running
has been one of the brilliant spots
of the big games of the Blue and
White during his three years as a
player. He could not only carry
the ball for big gains but was one
of the most successful quarterbacks
in the counby in the use of short,
quick forward passes. Likewise in
catching and returning punts he
had no superior. During the 1912
season he was not guilty of fum
bling a single punt.
Better than his material aid to
the 'team and that which makes
him especially fitted for leadership
was the generalship he displayed at
the pivotal position in the big
games. Time and again yards
were gained and touchdowns made
due to the ability of the midget to
outguess his opponents and pull off
the unexpected. Besides his abil
ity to play and direct plays, he
possessed the rare faculty of being
able to carry his laurels and honors
modestly, at the same time being
full of pepper and good fellowship
to the extent that he is one of the
most popular of captains that any
team could possess. There is no
doubt that insofar as leadership is
responsible the Blue and White
team of 1913 will be a success.
